Sheic languages
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sheic or She–Jiongnai languages are a branch of the Miao (Hmongic) language family.
She (Ho-Ne) has long been recognized as a divergent language. It has been difficult to classify because of its numerous Chinese loanwords. Recently, it has been concluded that a few other Miao languages may be closer to She than to the rest of the family.

Hsiu (2015, 2018),[2][3] also in a computational phylogenetic study, found She to be closest to Kiong Nai, and added Younuo as a fourth language.
Yuno has also been classified as Bahengic by Mao & Li (1997).[4]
